B. Management System For MB Special Tools

The heart of this MBUSA Tool Management System is an adhesive backed, plastic overlay (foil) that shows the tool silhouette. This provides for the location and/or identification of the tools, thereby providing the workshop a visual tool inventory system.

The majority of hard-tools are shown on a scale of 1:1, while test cables are on a scale of 1:2.

A legend is provided listing all currently applicable A & B tools and their precise location within this tool board system. Additionally, the legend also identifies the specific tool holder needed to mount/hold tools where applicable.

Updates to the overlays and the legend for new model year tools will be made available for ordering shortly after the tool release to retailers is complete. This will assure the workshop can always remain current with the MB USA Special Tool inventory of A & B tools.

General Notes:
Generally, all tool boards are easily transferable from frame-to-frame and configuration-to-configuration. This is possible due to the special mounting clips that are fastened to the backside of the tool board, and hook into slots of the space frame.

Ordering Information:
Complete Storage and Mounting systems and the Management System can be ordered via the MBUSA Standard Service Equipment Program via the toll-free number: 1-888-458-4040.
